8Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB)The high-performance brake system is designed
for optimal braking effect at all speeds and tem-
peratures.
Certain speeds, braking forces and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and humidity)
therefore might cause brake noises.
Wear on the different components and braking
system, such as brake pads and brake discs, de-
pends to a great extent on the individual driving
style and the conditions of use and therefore can-
not be expressed in actual miles on the road.
The values communicated by Porsche are based
on normal operation adapted to traffic. Wear in-
creases considerably when the vehicle is driven on
race tracks or through an aggressive driving style.
fPlease consult an authorized Porsche dealer
about the current guidelines in effect before
such use of your vehicle.
Setting and operation vehicle
components when driving
Warning!
There is a danger of an accident if you oper-
ate or set the on-board computer, radio, nav-
igation system, telephone or other equip-
ment while driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle re-
sulting in serious personal injury or death.
fOperate the equipment while driving only if the
traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
Portable Fuel Containers
Danger!
Portable fuel containers may leak, whether
they are full or partially empty. Fuel leaking
from a portable container carried in your ve-
hicle could, in case of an accident, cause a
fire or explosion, resulting in serious perso-
nal injury or death.
fNever carry additional fuel in portable contain-ers in your vehicle.
Engine Exhaust
Danger!
Engine exhaust is dangerous if inhaled.
Engine exhaust fumes have many compo-
nents which you can smell. They also contain
carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless
and odorless gas.
Carbon monoxide can cause unconscious-
ness and even death if inhaled.
fNever start or let the engine run in an en-
closed, unventilated area.
It is not recommended to sit in your car for pro-
longed periods with the engine on and the car not moving.
Ground ClearancePlease bear in mind the limited clearance of your
car on uneven surfaces, when parking (curbs), on
ramps, lifting platforms, etc.

If the vehicle was locked before the luggage com-
partment is opened, it is unlocked simultaneously
with the luggage compartment.
In vehicles with seat memory the stored seat and
door mirror positions are automatically set.
The vehicle will be locked again approx. 15 sec-
onds after the luggage compartment is closed if
none of the doors was opened.
Note
Your authorized Porsche dealer can program fur-
ther types of unlocking.
Ty p e 1
The relocking time of the doors can be adjusted to
suit your individual requirements (4 - 120 sec-
onds).
Ty p e 2
The doors stay locked when the luggage compart-
ments are unlocked.
Malfunction of the remote controlThe remote control may not function correctly due
to local radio wave interference. The vehicle will
then not lock properly.
This can be identified by the missing locking
sound and the missing check-back signal of the
hazard warning lights.
If this should occur:
fLock the vehicle with the key in the door.The remote-control standby function
switches off after 7 days If the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the re-
mote control within five days, the remote control
standby function is switched off (to prevent dis-
charging of the car battery).
1. In this case, unlock the driver’s door with the
key at the door lock.
Leave the door closed in order to prevent the
alarm system from being triggered.
2. Press button 1 on the remote control.
The remote control is now activated again.

Warning!
There is a danger of accident if you set or
operate the on-board computer, radio,
navigation system, telephone or other equip-
ment when driving.
This could distract you from the traffic and
cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
If loss of vehicle control is severe enough,
serious personal injury or death could result.
fOperate these components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
Depending on the equipment in your vehicle, you
can use the function keys of the multi-functional
steering wheel to operate the following Porsche
communication systems:
–PCM,
– Telephone,
– Radio with CD drive,

Parking Aids Parking Assistant (ParkAssistant) When the driver backs up, the parking assistant
system indicates the distance between the car
and a large obstacle behind it, by means of signal
tones.
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death.
ParkAssistant cannot detect small objects
such as children and pets.
Despite use of the parking assistant system,
the driver is still responsible for taking due
care and assessing obstacles when backing
up.
fMake sure that no persons, especially small
children, animals or obstacles are within the maneuvering area.
The parking assistant system is activated auto-
matically when reverse gear is selected and the ig-
nition is on.
Note
Be aware that the parking assistant system is not
switched on if the car rolls backward without re-
verse gear being engaged.
Ultrasound sensors Sensors
Four ultrasound sensors in the rear bumper meas-
ure the distance to the closest obstacle.
– Range middle sensors around 60 in./150 cm
– Range outer sensors around 24 in./60 cm
Obstacles cannot be detected in the “blind” sen-
sor area (e.g. near the ground).
Note
The sensors must always be kept free of dust, ice
and snow in order to ensure that they are fully
functional.
Caution!
To avoid damaging the sensors:
fMaintain sufficient distance when cleaning with steam-jet units.
Signal tones/function
When reverse gear is selected, the parking assist-
ant confirms that it is switched on by issuing a
short signal tone.
A detected obstacle is signalled by an intermit-
tent tone. The intervals decrease as the obstacle
is approached.
A continuous tone sounds when the distance be-
comes less than one foot. This continuous tone
c a n s t o p i f t h e o b s t a c l e i s a p p ro a c h e d c l o s e r t h a n
one foot.
The radio volume should not be so loud as to
drown out the signal tones.

System learningThe tire pressure monitoring begins to “learn” the
wheels after a wheel change, wheel transmitter
replacement or update of the tire settings. During
this process, the tire pressure monitoring recog-
nizes the tires and their locations. The on-board
computer displayes the message “TPC inactive –
system learning”.
The tire pressure monitoring requires a certain
amount of time to learn the wheels. During this
time, the current tire pressures are not available
on the on-board-computer:
– The displays of the Tire pressure function of
the on-board computer shows lines.
– The required pressures for cold tires at 68°F
(20°C) are indicated in the Info pressure
display in the Tire pressure menu.
– Tire pressure warnings are issued without tire
pressure and position information (figure) as
soon as the vehicle’s own wheels have been
detected and the tire pressure warning light
has gone out.Position and pressure information is displayed as
soon as the tire pressure monitoring has assigned
the wheels identified as belonging to the vehicle to
the correct wheel positions.
The wheel learning process takes place
exclusively when the vehicle is being driven.
fManually check the tire pressure at all wheels
and correct the tire pressure to the required
value.
Changing a wheel and replacing tiresfNew wheels must be fitted with radio transmit-
ters for the tire pressure monitoring.
Before tires are changed, the battery charge
state of the wheel transmitters should be
checked at an authorized Porsche dealer.
fSwitch the ignition off when changing a wheel.
The tire settings on the on-board computer must
be updated after changing a wheel.
A message appears if the characteristics of the
new tires do not agree with the on-board computer
settings.
fUpdate the on-board computer settings when
the vehicle is stationary the next time.The warning light in the speedometer lights up:
– When a loss in pressure has been detected
– If the tire pressure monitoring is faulty
– When learning newly mounted wheels/wheel
sensors, as long as the vehicle’s own wheels
have not yet been recognized.
The tire pressure warning light in the instrument
panel goes out only when the cause of the fault
has been rectified.
